The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 1076

Lost in a sea of conflicting thoughts, Thalassa was brought back to reality by the sound of the hospital room door opening. Someone had come in.

With her keen senses, Thalassa glanced toward the door and saw Evelyn and Hertha stride in, their faces etched with urgent concern.

Evelyn rushed to Thalassa's bedside with an anxious expression, tenderly taking her hand. "Thalassa, I was beside myself when I heard you were hospitalized. You were fine at lunch; what on earth happened that you ended up here?"

She held Thalassa's hand, squeezing it gently as if trying to transfer some of her own warmth to Thalassa's chilly fingers.

"I'm okay, Mom. How did you find out I was in the hospital? Who told you?" Thalassa was curious. She hadn't been at the hospital long and had come straight from the Royal Estates. If Lysander hadn't said anything, how could Evelyn have known?

"Remember I saved Fitch's number? I called him to check on you and the kids, and he told me you were admitted," Evelyn explained, her gaze full of sorrow as she examined Thalassa's bruised chin. "Your chin is all purple. Did Lysander hit you?"

"What? Lysander hit you? That scoundrel!" Hertha flared up upon hearing Evelyn's words, rolling up her sleeves in a huff. "I swear, if I see Lysander, I'm gonna give him a piece of my mind!"

Thalassa appreciated Hertha's protective rage, knowing she truly cared and wanted to defend her, but the thought of anyone standing up to Lysander seemed outlandish. She hurried to reassure Evelyn and Hertha, "It's not what you think. Lysander didn't hit me."

"Then what's with your chin? And why were you suddenly hospitalized?" Hertha pressed, eager for answers.

Thalassa looked at Evelyn, who was seated beside her bed holding her hand, then turned her gaze to Hertha standing nearby, her face filled with worry.

The profound and genuine concern in their eyes overwhelmed her.
